Baby Quick page

Don't you just love watching babies sleep? I do...I couldn't resist taking a few photos of Josh huggin ghis blankie the other day while he napped. And then of course I had to scrap the moment :) I LOVE this page so much, so simple and sweet, just like a sleeping baby! Of course I made it into a quick page...and get this for both BOY and GIRL! I knew you would be thrilled!

Easter quick pages

I have created a few Eater/Spring quick pages for you. I think there will be more to come, I have been having a hard time with these for some reason. I think it's because I have been in baby scrapping mode. So perhaps I will get some baby pages out of my system and then I will be able to go back and make some more for Easter. Maybe by then the weather will be more Spring like and it will be easier for me to think Spring!

These are no longer available for sale through my blog, if you are interested in this type of item please be sure to visit my Etsy store, you can always request a custom item if you don't see what you are looking for! https://www.etsy.com/shop/AmandaCreation

My new desktop background

So I created a new background for my desktop! I have been having so much fun with digital scrapbooking...I only wish I had found it years ago! Now I can create a mini scrapbook page to have as the wallpaper on my computer rather than just a picture. It comes in handy more now since I have 2 kids and getting that perfect picture of them both in the same photo gets tricky! I love how this wallpaper came out...of course it's even cuter with my babies! But since you probably don't want my babies as your background I have a plain one for you! And best of all it's a freebie :) If you do download it I would love a quick comment just so I know you liked it! Have a good day, tomorrow some Easter quick pages!

First Food Pags

Here is a quick and easy page I created to scrap Josh eating his first food. This was the first time I have ever used a template in photoshop elements where you simply drag and drop your papers onto the page and clip them to the template! SO FAST and SO EASY! I can see myself doing more and more of that to get caught up with all the pictures I have to scrap! Even if you are a traditional scrapbooker you can certainly make a layout just like this with traditional supplies!

Josh scrapbook page

This is the layout I created to be the title page of Josh's 1st year album. I do like the way it came out...i think I don't like the frilly scalloped edge so I might change that in the near future. I have been wanting to do the faded photo as a background for a while. These were pictures that were taken at the hospital the day after he was born.

Another fun hybrid project!

So I have another fun Easter project for you to just print and assemble! It's this adorable box! You just print out on your computer, cut it out and assemble and you have an adorable gift to give. I have filled mine with mini Hershey bars, that of course have matching wrappers that I designed and just printed out and wrapped them with! But you can fill the box with whatever treats you want. Wrappers come 12 on a sheet, 3 each of 4 designs...and the best part is once you have the template you can print out as many as you need!

Exciting news and an exciting new project!

So I have kept a secret long enough! It was finally announced today that I have been chosen to be a part of the design team for Marks Paper Company! I am SO excited! They have some really beautiful papers and some excellent digital scrapbook kits that I can't wait to get to play with! You will be seeing some fun things here from them! If you would like to read the announcement head over here: http://smarksthespot.typepad.com/markspapercompany/

Also I have an exciting NEW project I have made! I am so excited about this because it has opened up a whole new world of creativity and possibilities for me! Before I got into digital scrapbooking I was very much into stamping and card making, but my favorite part of that, or what I had a knack for, was 3-D items. Well I have found a way to combine my new love of digital scrapbooking with my love of making 3-D items! I have create this adorable bunny basket! I designed it with some digital papers and embellishments I have and all you have to do it print, cut and assemble and you have a cute little gift basket to give out! The great thing is I can change out the papers and create the basket for something totally different!

If you love it too of course I have it for sale :) You would print out 2 copies of the box and one copy of the handle on your home computer on some nice white paper (not printer paper) I used Stampin Up's whisper white (the best stuff I know of!) then simply cut it out and assemble it!

Happy St. Patricks Day!

It's your Lucky day today! I have started making cute computer background screens for my dad lately. He requested a new one today so I created a ST. Patricks Day themed one. I thought I would offer it here for FREE for everyone to start off a LUCKY day for you! This is sized for a wide screen monitor and has the opening for you to layer your photo underneath. It's not going to be a good size for much else besides a desktop background which is what it is meant for. I will be back with an Easter themed background soon!

Snow Day

Ah the "Snow Day" Winter's most anticipated event. That unexpected day off where you are stuck at home so you can't get anything done but play in the snow and have fun! Here is a great kit to capture all of your snow fun this winter. I had a great time making it this one ( a little too great, it's HUGE!) But I had even nore fun creating with it making the brag book, quick pages and titles. I can see using this kit for all of our snow fun this winter! So here it is "Snow Day" It is really large (about 19 download links...eeek!) But it's because I couldn't stop adding fun things to it! You won't be disappointed that's for sure, just give yourself some time to get it downloaded! I am sure you will love it as much as I do!

Love Bots

Even though the adorable robots star in this Valentine's Day kit, you can use this for all of your Valentine's Day scrapping needs! There is plenty to play with in this kit. It includes 2 alphabets, 38 papers and 138 elements. I also have matching quick pages, page titles and a brag book to go with it. Or pick it all up in my BIG bundle!

New quick pages

I have been busy making up some St. Patricks Day themed pages! Some of htem you can use for other things too though! I even made a March page, and plan on making a page for each month. Not sure if I will make one per month or make a whole calendar and release as a kit or not yet. January and February will be on the way next so I can get caught up! These are just plain fun! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

SALE!!! Sort of

Is it really a sale if it is a permanent change? Well even if it isn't a "sale" I know you be excited for this! I have changed the prices of my quick pages to just $1.00 each!!!! I know crazy right! So single page layouts are only $1 and double page layouts are only $2. And that's it from now on! So you can buy more pages and spend less. I don't know anyone who wouldn't appreciate that! Now it might take me a bit of time to go back into each individual post and change the paypal link. So if the pages you are trying to purchase have the old prices ($1.50 and $3.00) use the main link under the slide show and mention the name of the page(s) in your paypal memo! I hope you enjoy!

Summer-y pages

Well I know it isn't quite summer yet, but perhaps you are scrapping photos from last year (like me) now and need some summer-y themed pages! Well I have 2 new ones here...more to come as the weather warms up! A page for the sidewalk art and for eating ice cream!

Little Boy Quick Pages

I am sure you have noticed that my pages trend towards the little boys! Don't worry little girl pages are coming. I just happen to have more boy themed kits because I have 2 little boys. But I do think there are lots of pages that can be used for more too! But not these...these are straight little boy pages and I love them! Just like I love my little boys! Hopefully you can use these pages to highlight the cute little boys in your life!

St. Patricks Day Page

Here is a fun one for St. patricks Day! I am hoping to make a few more "green" themed pages this week! I know I have some cute pictures of the kids having shamrock shakes so it should be fun to come up with something for those! Enjoy!
